Pros

The makeup is pretty good.

Cons

The people working here fall into one of 3 categories: 1. Very Inexperienced 2. People who never worked anywhere else but in this very dysfunctional environment and who want everyone to adapt to this crazy way of doing business 3. A handful of experienced people who have wilted and just tolerate chaos Phrases that Pixi management understands: 1. Smoke Break: Yes, they know it well and take several a day for at least a 1/2 hour 2. “Team Building” events: They like to use this a deflection when you ask about all of the horrible Glass Door reviews. (No, getting out of work 2 hours early to go to a team building event does not make up for the other six hours of torture). The last thing I want to is to see these faces outside of these four walls. 4. Overtime: Nevermind that you got there on time and were in your chair working for an two hours before most people rolled in. They will still expect you to stay late EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to finish a deadline that they failed to give you early in the day because they were still in bed. Phrases that Pixi management don’t understand: 1. Deadline: Ask when something is due and you are met with blank stares 2. Process or Procedure: They don’t know what it is and they don’t want to know what it is. 3. Teamwork: It is every man for himself. Group 2 above won’t let you in on how things are done because they are embarrassed that they have failed to institute any processes whatsover. And they are threatened by anyone who even questions the absurdity of how it is being run. The left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. Advice to EMPLOYEES: Group 1: If you take the job, don’t stay for longer than a year. Get it on your resume and move on. Nothing that you learn here will apply to any other job. 2. Group 2: Don’t misrepresent what is going on here to new candidates: Work, life balance is not characterized by late nights, constant chaos, and in-office bickering and backstabbing. Group 3: If you like your job or can even barely tolerate it, don’t leave it to come to herei. You will regret it within the first week. The real reason for this review is a cautionary tale to anyone who might be thinking of making a change. Don't do it.

Pros

Pixi products are great and you get a great discount

Cons

1. Doing the job of 2-4 people by yourself 2. When you have to stick up for yourself because you’re drowning they said you’ll have a tone 3. Instead of sitting down with you and flagging this to you they end up just letting you go 4. They’ll also do big department lunches and single ONE person out and say “they didn’t realize you weren’t there” 5. You think you can go to HR and things might help but turns out it does nothing 6. Once in a meeting it was said “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side” saying we should stay at least 6 months before we have it figured out etc - but can’t sit down with you and maybe give you a warning? 6. They’ll promise you a certain salary only after you completed a certain amount of time (aka because they know they have high turnover)
